Wishing Star Farm

Today we went to a local farm called Wishing Star Farm for their Fall Festival and Pumpkin Patch. I really wanted to take Parker to a pumpkin patch this year, and we decided on this one because they had some other attractions in addition to the pumpkins. This was their last weekend of the season, so there weren't many pumpkins left but we still had a great time....even though the wind was blowing like a monsoon. Not kidding. Wish I was.

Parker going for his first pony ride!

He loved it and got to ride twice.

They also had barrel train rides. I wasn't sure if Parker would be cool with it once he started pulling away, but I needn't have worried. He rode three times and was more than happy to roll off without us.

See -- here he is waving bye bye.

Me and the kiddos stop for a picture. As you can see, I wasn't lying about the wind.

Parker and Daddy also participated in duck racing. As the water was pumped, the rubber duckies would make their way across the tube to the other side.

This is the part when I really thought Parker would freak out. He doesn't usually even take well to big dogs, so I figured sheep and goats would be a no-go. Again, I was wrong. After only a few seconds to warm up to the idea, he was feeding them grain like a pro.

Here he is feeding one sheep while another is trying to kiss him???

They even had a 100 foot slide! Here is a picture of Andrew and Parker on their way down.

Parker really loved the corn crib. It was basically like a sandbox, but instead of sand it was filled with corn kernels. He could have played in it all day.

We had a really fun time and brought home some pumpkins that we plan on carving so stay tuned for that. And finally, Sadie is 6 months old today....my little baby is growing up so fast.
